Most women would rather eat nails than try on a bikini under the soul-crushing glare of dressing-room lights. But shopping for jeans can be almost as traumatizing. Unlike slipping into a skimpy two-piece that lets everything hang out, shimmying into a pair of jeans means squeezing everything in. And all too often, one of three culprits keeps you from a perfect fit: muffin top, thick thighs, or a flat butt.

They're also designed for your busy schedule: Each workout takes only 10 to 15 minutes, and all you need is a pair of dumbbells (try starting with five to 10 pounds and increasing as that becomes too easy). Choose your top priority from the drop-down menu above and complete the workout on its own (or as an add-on before your regular routine), or put all three together into one master total-body workout.
